The Event

 

A great day for golf. The weather was good. Pace of play was fast.

Nine players. Two visitors: Steve Penny and Nigel Barrett.

 

Peter Thornton won the 2026 Killara Occasional Cup on 38 points, using adjusted official Smergs handicaps (plus 3 for 20 and over, and plus 2 under)

Steve Figgis won the front nine and Tim Becker won the back nine.  (Apologies Steve. I made a mistake with the summary sheet and at the presentation.)

 

Thanks to all for playing (and to Ken for organising!
